This course is the second of a series of two courses that will advance students understanding of scholarship and the scholarly process by providing them a systematic approach to build problem-solving skills. The material covered in Scholarship II aims to achieve three major objectives towards the synthesis of a complete research plan: (1) the definition of common elements of writing an R21 NIH grant application, (2) the definition of common elements of writing an IRB protocol, and (3) the definition of common elements of writing a research manuscript. The course will consist of instructional online modules, in-class mini- lectures and student group active learning activities building on materials learned in Scholarship I (PHR 951). The students will have the opportunity to choose projects from: (1) business plan development, (2) IRB protocols, and (3) research proposal.
